I came across an excellent permaculture YouTuber (who is also a professor at Oregon State (I think) and is incredible at drawing diagrams) [0]. Incidentally, based on his videos on the power of plants to filter out things as toxic as heavy metals and some biological wastes [1], I'm very concerned that the "injection well" idea for filling aquifers could result in contaminating the aquifer. Filtering through earth and active ecosystems seems like an important step in recharging aquifers safely.

Andrew Millison! He used live out in Arizona and did projects out here before being enticed to Oregon. The story I heard is that someone wanted him to teach out in Oregon badly enough to arrange for teaching at Oregon State. OSU and the Prescott College (here in AZ) are one of the few places teaching permaculture design at a college level. Millison also did a series of video on the Indian water crisis and how they used permaculture design to transform wastelands into productive habitats.
